Honey Kirana Store

Honey Kirana Store sits right by the G.T Road Jalandhar Bye-pass. It’s a small shop but we pack a lot into it. You’ll find sacks of rice, lentils, and all the basic spices people need for their kitchens. We start our day early, sweeping the front and making sure the jars are lined up. Since we are near the bye-pass, we get a lot of travelers stopping in for a quick snack or a cold drink. It’s always a bit noisy with the horns blowing outside. The space is tight, and sometimes customers have to wait outside if there are more than three people in here. We don't have a fancy billing system; we just use a pencil and a notebook. It’s easier that way for us. We know which brands the locals like and what stays on the shelf too long. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to use candles, but we stay open anyway. We’ve been at this spot for years and seen the road change quite a bit. It’s a simple life behind the counter. We talk to everyone who comes in. Some people just want to chat for a minute while they buy their groceries. We’re just a regular kirana shop doing our bit near the highway.
